CB430

The Alfa Laval S.p.A. CB430 is a compact brazed plate heat exchanger in the Alfa Laval CB family. It transfers heat through corrugated metal plates that are permanently bonded into a gasket-free plate pack, allowing a small footprint compared with many conventional shell-and-tube arrangements. CB-family units are used in a broad range of liquid-to-liquid heating and cooling duties when the selected materials and operating envelope are suitable. Unlike a gasketed plate-and-frame exchanger, the bonded plate pack is not dismantled onboard for routine plate or gasket replacement; cleaning is normally performed by flushing or an approved cleaning-in-place method. Neighbouring model numbers and suffixes within the family distinguish physical or application configurations, but no capacity or plate count should be inferred solely from the model name. The designation CB430 identifies a specific CB brazed plate heat exchanger configuration in the supplied equipment list. Exact capacity, pressure and temperature limits, materials, connection details and internal configuration must be verified from the unit nameplate and manufacturer documentation; refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure.
